Step 4. Specify AlwaysON Restore Options

If the specified target SQL server supports AlwaysOn Availability Groups, you will be offered to specify AlwaysOn restore options.

To use the AlwaysOn capabilities for databases, select the Add the database to the following group checkbox and choose an availability group from the list. Databases will be restored to the primary server and then replicated to secondary nodes.

If you do not plan to use the AlwaysOn capabilities when restoring databases, clear the Add the database to the following group checkbox.
